A major KI initiative to recruit new assistant professors with outstanding proposals in all areas of medicine, biomedicine and public health. We offer an amazing research environment, great colleagues and generous startup packages. Check it out and get working on your applications! (repost please!)

Captain Picard making the case for #OpenMicroscopy

It’s been a weird, unproductive week at the lab and I’m feeling a little down. So here are 10 cool facts about vision:

TIL: Out-of-Office replies can contain links to recent manuscripts! Nice one @vsaggiomo.bsky.social!

Very much enjoyed yesterday's Physics of Life community event in Utrecht! @seppekuehnlab.bsky.social: microbial communities, #PhilippSavakis: yeast glycolysis, @janniharju.bsky.social: DNA organization in bacteria, #ArthurHernandez: axis formation in hydra, and #LouiseJawerth: protein condensates

I gave in! After students asking for it, I now made a simple figure design checklist. To help all scientists w/o graphic skills create clear, accessible, and truthful charts! -> Out in @nature Cell Biology: rdcu.be/erwl4 #DataVisualization #PhD #SciComm Thx for review @bethcimini.bsky.social + 2

JOB OPENING for biochemist/-physicst 🧑‍🔬: This isn't an official job ad yet. We are looking for a postdoc working on large to high throughout single-molecule FRET on protein structures and dynamics. The project will be run in our lab and co-directed jointly with a team from big pharma/biotech. 1/2

Paper alert: "Rotated Fourier transform (RFT) enables the quantification of anisotropic structure in high-moisture plant-protein extrudates" by @drnjitram.bsky.social et al. With fancy #ImageJ/#FIJI plugin to analyze anisotropy in ANY image! #FoodMicrosopy, doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

Going to present a few minutes on #OpenMicroscopy tomorrow online and in colour. @makertobey.bsky.social #LibreHub

German academia seems wild. Saw a job advert for an appointment in April 2027.

Great weekend with fellow students (@unihalle.bsky.social 25yrs ago) and families. #Harz

New preprint online: A flow cell for data validation in computer vision. Computer vision is amazing for reaction monitoring, analytical chemistry, and self-driving laboratories, but it has a flaw… let’s dig deep into this research. #Chemsky 1/n chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

#PhysicsFactlet A Shack-Hartmann sensor is a simple and widely used device to measure the phase profile of a wavefront (aka "where the light is coming from"). A mini 🧵 1/ #Optics #Physics

Applications are now open for the 4th edition of the “Ecole de Physique des Houches” on Fluorescence Markers for Advanced Microscopies, a WE-Heraeus seminar. March 15th-20th 2026 Join us to learn everything you wanted to know about Fluorescent Markers for advanced microscopies.

Finished week two of a 6 ECTS course that we are running for two MSc students. Ask me anything.

Got a pin. #coffee

Has anyone tried/seen/failed using ATTO 643 for STORM? Probably does not switch, does it? Works great for STED though. #SMLM

Update on the tomatoes plants. Just moved them into the garden. Barely visible... #optimism @simonhammann.bsky.social

New preprint led by @brunoluviano.bsky.social & Fernando Santos. We show that filamentation enhances bacterial survival under toxic stress — not as collateral damage, but as a regulated morphological response. TL;DR: Filamentation isn’t a symptom, it’s a strategy! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wondering where best to attach organic fluorophores to your protein of interest for #smFRET experiments? Have a look at a recent paper by the Cordes (@bpc-tudo.bsky.social) and the Lipfert lab: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Binnenkort ook aan de WUR: bijltjesdag. Weer een ontzettend verdrietig gevolg van de onnodige bezuinigingen op hoger onderwijs en onderzoek van dit kabinet, gesteund door de destructieve oppositie van oa CDA, CU en SGP. Lekker gewerkt Eppo! nos.nl/l/2567448

1/6 Excited to share our review 🚀 🧬 CRISPR–Cas therapies targeting bacteria! #MicroSky

Next PhD-thesis chapter by @abbas72.bsky.social published: "Super-resolution imaging reveals heterogeneity in the coverage of oil-in-water food emulsions”, doi.org/10.1016/j.fo..., #FoodMicroscopy
